Roche, a global pioneer in pharmaceuticals and diagnostics focused on advancing science to improve people's lives, has launched a new instrument for nucleic acid extraction and purification, the MagNA Pure 24 System. The new system offers an extraction solution with on-board primary sample handling for low to medium throughput customers who require high quality nucleic acid extractions.
Nucleic acid extraction is the first step in molecular testing and is critical to lab efficiency. The MagNA Pure 24 System is a fully automated clinical sample extractor that delivers walk-away automation, while minimizing hands-on time and purification variability. The MagNA Pure 24 System is capable of extracting nucleic acids from a wide range of human sample types with a single universal reagent kit, offering customers the flexibility and standardization they need for their downstream workflow.
"The MagNA Pure 24 System builds on the legacy of the MagNA Pure family of products and is designed to meet current and future needs of molecular testing laboratories," said Uwe Oberlaender, Head of Roche Molecular Diagnostics. "To those who value the importance of starting their genomic workflow with highly purified nucleic acids, this new system will offer significant benefits."
The MagNA Pure 24 System is IVD/CE-IVD labelled and is now available in most countries, including the US and countries accepting CE mark, a company press release said.
For more than 20 years, the Roche MagNA Pure System nucleic acid extraction and purification systems have been ensuring purity, reproducibility, and laboratory efficiency obtained only by automated magnetic bead-based technology. Using the MagNA Pure Systems, laboratories can extract a wide range of starting materials and can continue downstream genomic workflow with high-quality nucleic acids.
The MagNA Pure Systems empower scientists and laboratories to achieve meaningful results with confidence with simplified sample preparation for dramatic reduction of handling errors, preloaded protocols, and intuitive software.
